Data Agreement Structuring Options

Full Conversation

Please provide different legal options on how to structure an agreement between each consortium and PULA with clear definition of the data collector, data processor and data controller roles given the following scenario. Consider the Data Protection and Privacy Act * of Uganda for this analysis: Consortium *,* and * will hire PULA as the EUDR data collector and Data processor as well as store the data until the industry-wide EUDR data warehouse is established. Ideally the consortia should be the data controllers since the data is being collected on their behalf as the industry players in coffee. However they are not legal entities and don’t have data controller licenses from the office of data privacy and protection. There is an option to use the UCF entity which all the consortia members can be part of once the governance is beefed up. The UCF will take 3months to get the licenses required. aBi has issued grants to the consortia to enable the above data collection and establishment of a datawarehouse. aBi also has the different licences of the data collector, data processor, data collector. The aBi project is expected to last months and aBi will not be part of this project afterwards and the consortia will need to take led going forward. PULA needs to start data collection in * weeks in order for the industry to meet the EUDR deadline on 1st January *
Here are some legal options to structure the agreement between each consortium and PULA, considering the Data Protection and Privacy Act * of Uganda:
*. **Interim Arrangement Using aBi Licenses:**
- aBi acts as the Data Controller using its licenses.
- PULA is hired as the Data Collector and Data Processor.
- The consortia oversee and coordinate the project.
*. **Temporary Use of UCF Entity:**
- UCF entity acts as the Data Controller after obtaining the required licenses.
- Until then, aBi temporarily acts as the Data Controller.
- PULA continues as the Data Collector and Data Processor.
*. **Immediate Application for Consortia Legal Entity:**
- Fast-track the process of making the consortia a legal entity.
- Apply for Data Controller licenses.
- PULA is designated as the Data Collector and Data Processor.
*. **Hybrid Approach:**
- aBi as Data Controller initially, transitioning to UCF entity within 3 months.
- PULA consistently as Data Collector and Processor.
- Clear agreements on roles and transitions.
